Vanish Point Update

Water Country USA, located near Busch Gardens Williamsburg, has been working hard on getting their new slide tower, Vanish Point, ready for the season.

The complex actually features 4 separate slides, two super-loops and two free-fall slides.  I really like the green and blue color combinations they are using, as well.

Riders can hit almost 40 mph while on the slides.  The free-fall slides are 285 feet long, and the super loops are 390 feet.

Here's the "loop" part of the super-loop slides.  These will also feature a skybox start - where the floor drops out from beneath riders.

The new attractions were provided by Proslide Technology.  Water Country USA will open for the 2011 season on May 21st.
